    Video Cup final restoration

    Looks great. Wonder if the original footage was recorded on tape or film. If it was film, and the original exists, it could potentially be rescanned to get the highest quality possible Would love a high quality copy but guess it would come down to cost against potential sales.

    Ricoh Lease...

    SISU's bid couldn't be accepted because they wanted Higgs to work with them on community projects? What laws prevent a charity working on community projects in line with their stated aims?

    Interesting comment from the Warwickshire cricket CEO regarding their season starting 1st August: now to be fair I've been to county games where you could literally have a block per spectator but one day and T20 games are a different matter.
